I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

Is Master Zhu trying to assure me that my embarrassing defeats are beneficial to mankind? "

"...Shuby....I don't know Mr. Mechanic, but Shuby judged like that. But..."

Shubi continued to stare at Rick with those glass-like golden eyes very seriously.

"...Rick doesn't accept it, such a result..."

"Of course, how can we survive in this kind of world..."

"No."

Huby made up his mind.She interrupted Rick and continued: "I didn't understand before...but now, I understand."

Hubby looked into Rick's eyes, and said firmly: "What Rick wants is not to let anyone die...no matter who it is, even if it is the race that destroys human beings—even Hubby."

Rick's expression became serious.

Hubby still didn't understand why Rick didn't kill him at that time.

Rick replied that he didn't even know himself, and Hubby still couldn't understand his criteria for judgment.

Because of this, Hubby could conclude.

"That's the 'heart'"

"..."

Rick just lowered his head and remained silent, trying to escape Hubie's gaze, but she still didn't stop talking.

"...Huby concluded that Rick was great...but Rick didn't accept it."

That's right, because——

"Because Rick didn't want to be accepted, because Rick couldn't identify with himself."

In the room where there was only the whistling and whimpering of the wind, there was a sudden wry laugh.Rick raised his head slowly, resting his cheeks in his hands.

Shubi's figure was clearly reflected in his eyes, and he managed to squeeze out his voice and said, "You really make people angry, and a person who is full of reason is so troublesome."

"...sorry."

"Don't apologize, it's just an idiot getting angry."

Rick sighed heavily, as if losing all his strength for a moment, and admitted her statement.

Yeah, really.

This is a veritable "desperation".

There is no room for refutation. The so-called speechless refers to this situation.

【Heart Lock】Since it has been pried open, it is only to embarrass myself even more by trying to be brave.

The corner of Rick's mouth was full of bitterness: "Yeah, that's right - a scum like me doesn't want anyone's approval."

Keep running for your life, desperately trying to survive... so what?

But what should I do otherwise? !

Rick looked up at the ceiling, leaned his back against the wall, and murmured as if confessing: "...you say, if this is the case, what should I do?"

How can I forgive myself?

So far, he has sacrificed his irreplaceable life and just kept escaping the outcome.

Kill one to save two, kill two to save four.

Even deceive yourself, only that approach is the only means.

I have been doing that kind of thing continuously in the past, how can I accept it now?

Rick completely threw down his face, and asked Hubie as if pleading.

But Hubie looked directly at him and asked: "I just want to know this... How does Rick's heart answer?"

"...Hahaha, I just asked you because I don't know, you are going too far." Rick laughed dryly and lowered his head.

"But...no matter what Rick wants to do, Hubby will help..."

"why?"

Hearing Rick's question, Hubie's eyes widened in surprise, and he replied as if it was a matter of course: "Shubby said that he would stay by Rick's side...until he understands his heart."

That's really reliable...

"But one size fits all..."

With a click, Shubi dropped the chess piece on the board.

"CheckMate...."

"Huby, as far as the atmosphere is concerned, it should be at least a tie."

"... Atmosphere, what is that? Although Cheng Ye has always said that Shubi can't read the air... But what does the atmospheric index have to do with these?"

Responding to this usual answer, Rick smiled wryly and looked out the window.

At some point, the storm has stopped.

Looking down from the window, perhaps it is the protection of the Sen God, the flowers and trees are in full bloom, and the impact of the death storm cannot even be seen everywhere.

Instead, the colorful petals are blown up by the wind and fluttering in the air. Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed...

"....What a nice view...."

Rick moved his eyes to the side, watching the person who snatched away the words he wanted to say.

The mechanical girl, who felt more like a human than herself, just chased the petals flying in the air with eyes full of excitement.

Those clear eyes reflected everything in it.

"Huby..."

The girl turned her head slowly.

Rick called her name, begging her to tell me about the topic that he thought was meaningless and refused in the past.

"Please tell me the purpose and end conditions of this great war."

--------------------------

A sea-dwelling species curled up in a giant shell

As the girl murmured to herself, she fiddled with the shining purple beads of light in front of her with her fingers.

"So the war... when will it end?"

——The sky is bluer than the sea, and the rays of the sun shine on your body, making you warm.

The endless emerald green grass will be turbulent like waves under the blowing of the wind, mixed with the breath of life, which is refreshing.

Don't worry about life and death, there is no fighting world, you can jump out of the sea like a bird, and sing loudly in the sky.

Every beautiful picture scroll was told to him by Cheng Rang's mouth.

You'll make your best friends, eat food that makes you smile, and find someone you love.

But the best thing that Ai Xueer can understand so far is the stuff in that strange packaging bag when she and Cheng met for the first time.

Although more than half a year had passed and the food had already been eaten, Cheng also made an agreement with himself.

If the war is over, you can eat everything that is a hundred times better than these.

Just holding such a wish, Ai Xueer is also looking forward to, in Cheng's mouth, "the day when the war ends in the near future."

When is the war over?

this problem--

"When you can see the sky, which is wider and bluer than the sea in your hometown...the war will be over." At that time, Cheng Rang answered himself like this.

"Then Ai Xueer will make more friends when the time comes! Friends like Cheng, friends like Rick, Kelong, Shuby!"

"Of course it's fine, but you have to be patient now. When the war is over, I will personally take you out of here to see the sea, the sky, and the grassland..."

"Yeah! Then we have an agreement, Cheng~"

"Well, it's agreed."

The little fingers of the two hooked together again, and the smile on the face of the sea-dwelling girl seemed to be shining brightly, and her eyes were full of anticipation for hope and yearning for beautiful things.

Ai Xueer softly called out a name.

He said that as long as the name is called softly...

This longing can be conveyed to the side no matter how far away it is.

"Is Ai Xueer a little headstrong? He just came here yesterday... and now I start to miss him again."

A nice blush appeared on the girl's cheeks, she held the warm purple light beads to her chest, and gently closed her eyes with happiness in her arms.

Chapter 46 "Like"

Rick and Hubie walked together in the garden-like elf ruins where petals were flying.

Although the black ash was temporarily swept away by the death storm, it was only a matter of time before it started to land again, and it couldn't stay here leisurely.

Rick revisits what he heard from Hubie.

"The throne of the only god... [star cup]?"

The battle of the main god "One God" who rules over all gods and spirits is decided.

The conceptual device of absolute dominance - the star cup.

That is the reason and purpose of this great war, and the method is... Really——

"Hubby, can you answer me one more question?"

Although he thought it should be impossible, Rick still asked the question.

"That Star Cup....doesn't anyone realize there's another way to get it?"

"Another...method...?"

Seeing Shubi's surprised expression, Rick could only sigh inwardly.

So that's the case, didn't even Hubby discover this trick?

No, it's because Shubi——it's because she's strong that she didn't notice such a simple thing.

"I said Hubby...it's nice not to be alone."

"...? Rick...has never been 'alone'..."

"No, I used to be like a fool, trying to pretend to be mature and decent, but—"

Rick smiled and pulled off the dust mask, covering half of his face.

In this way, Rick's expression could not be seen, but through the goggles, Hubby could still clearly see the powerful brilliance emanating from Rick's black eyes.

It's like... the same as Cheng.

"I think if it's Hubby, we can do interesting things in this world."

"...Interesting? Shubi...doesn't know how to be funny... Cheng has a lot of experiences like this."

Hubby lowered his head in frustration, while Rick thought about that guy, and couldn't help laughing: "It's different from him, that's how you are interesting... What does Hubby think? Are you bored with me?"

"No." She replied seriously without thinking.

"Really? I'm not boasting, but I'm an exaggerated person! You still don't understand the feeling of being bored—"

"If I'm not interested in Rick.... I won't hesitate to be disconnected, and I'll be here." Hubby replied immediately again with an impatient and serious expression.

Rick thought to himself: What should I do, Hubby asked my 'heart'.

And no matter what the answer is, she will help, if so, maybe...

What do I want to do—just follow my own mood frankly, maybe, it’s okay, right?

"right...
